Ankyra Sound those darkened waters spur

Potentially just a single post from me! Gonna say the coyotes fled, but Kaertok isn't following them / is protecting the border where their scent trail led. Feel free to skip and/or tag me back in if needed. :)

Kaertok heard the call from the latest alpha, and he was quick to answer it. The smell of blood and a wounded wolf was enough to let him know something was very, very wrong. He arrived on the scene alert and ready to fight whatever had hurt one of his pack mates, no matter that he hardly knew her. He didn't stop to chat or even gather any additional information. Instead, Kaertok picked up the trail of the offenders and shot off after the coyotes' scents.

He hoped for backup, but he wasn't holding his breath. It was possible they'd already departed the area and were no longer a threat, but that too could be a mistaken assumption. Their trail led beyond the sound, but Kaertok didn't follow it further. Instead, he began to stalk back and forth, eyes keenly seeking out any of the wily beasts who wished to try their luck with him.
